Spontaneous
thoughts on meditation

* The inner path in two words
which indeed are one; from consciousness to Consciousness

* True posture: an empty
statue, a powerful void

* True meditation: free breathing,
suspended mind

* The means for that: all
and none

* How to meditate?

* Should one teach the child
how to go to his mother?

* Meditation -and the whole
of spiritual life- is a sustained effort to shift from words to realities
and from realities to Reality

* The power to think represents
the superiority of rational man over animal man; the power not to think
represents the superiority of spiritual man over the rational one.

* The functioning of animals
is through fight or flight; that of human beings through fight, flight
...or meditation.

* The bird of meditation
takes wing when body is suspended to breath, breath to awareness and awareness
to emptiness

* Every science has its own
methods and instruments: one cannot study biology, the science of the infinitely
small, with a telescope, neither can one study the astronomy, the science
of the infinitely great, with a microscope.Likewise, true interiorization,
the science of the infinitely inward, has its instrument of choice, meditation.

* Narcissism: attachment
to oneself without understanding. Meditation: understanding of oneself
without attachment.

* It is up to us to give
a significance, a unity to the senses. Otherzwise, as such, the empire
of senses has neither emperor nor sense.

* Paradoxical: 'There is
nothing to practice' is a secret teaching reserved for initiates who practice
intensively.

* Daily practice is the best
way to ascertain the truth of Nietzsche's word, when he say that real courage
is the courage one has to have to face oneself

* The work of the meditator
is stopping the inner chitchatting, preventing mental imagery from developing,
hushing sensations: in two words which indeed are one: not stopping stopping.
